With the help of the dark elf, Drizzt, Bruenor reshapes Wulfgar into a warrior with both brawn and brains.

Starless Night

Yet, for the sake of my friends, I must know those dark intentions. And so I fear that there remains only one place for me to lookâ€¦â€

The Underdark. A place of brooding darkness, where no shadows exist, and where Drizzt Doâ€™Urden does not wish to go. The noble dark elf must return there, though, must go back to find his friends in gnome city of Blingdenstone, and on to Menzoberranzan, the city of the drow.

Siege of Darkness

Â Legend of Drizzt Book IX, Legacy of the Drow Book III

Back cover to Siege of Darkness:

Â â€Let the damned drow come!â€

All about me I saw excitement, in the dwarves, in Cattiebrie, even in Regis, the halfling known more for preparing for lunch and nap than for war. I felt it, too. That tingling anticipation, that camaraderie that had me and all the others patting each other on the back, offering praises for the simplest of additions to the common defense, and rasing our voices together in cheer whenever good news was announced. What was it? It was more than shared fear, more than giving thanks for what we had while realizing that it might soon be stolen away. I didnâ€™t understand it then, in that time of frenzy, in that euphoria of frantic preparations. Now, looking back, it is an easy thing to recognize.

It was hope.Â

Passage to Dawn

Â Legend of Drizzt Book X, Legacy of the Drow Book IV

Back cover of Passage to Dawn:

Six years. Not so long in the life span of a drow. And yet – in counting the months, the weeks, the days, the hours – it seemed to me as if I had been away from Mithril Hall a hundred times that number. The place was another lifetime, another way of life, a mere stepping stone toâ€¦

To what? To where?

I ride the waves along the Sword Coast now, the wind and spray in my face. My ceiliing is the rush of clouds and the canopy of stars; my floor, the creaking boards of a swift, well-weathered ship. Beyond that lies the azure blanket, flat and still, heaving and rolling, hissing in the rain and exploding under the fall of a breaching whale.

Is this, then, my home?Â

The Sea of Swords

Thank you for these books. I was in the Navy for 8 years. I think that I read these book each 5 or 6 times. I know that the people that look at these site have most likely already read these book but they are great. T.h

yah i agree. i got these books and i read them in about a day and a half! it would’ve been lkess (stupid sleeping!) but i had other stuff to do. ive almost memorized homeland, exile, sojourn. i cant put them down! i try to explain them to my friends and i can talk for hours just explaining part one in any of these books!

I like Jarlaxle a lot. I loved when he blinded a guy that cast Detect Magic in one of the Sellswords books. But my favorite character is Guenhwyvar. I found a short story on the Wizards of the Coast website that other Guenhwyvar lovers may enjoy. http://www.wizards.com/books/downloads/Guenhwyvar.pdf
